STEPHENVILLE – Want your kids to do something fun and educational this summer? College of the North Atlantic campuses across the province are offering Summer Day Camps for children ages 9-12 from July 4 to August 12 this year.
There will be six themed, one-week camps over this six-week period, and children can sign up for any number of camps that interest them – participate in just one, or all six! The camps run Monday to Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and cost $140 +HST per camp. Campers are required to pack their own lunches and snacks. Registration deadline is Monday, June 13.
Under the guidance of our camp leaders, campers will participate in the theme of the week through a variety of games, field trips, crafts, and sporting events. The themes and each campus vary, but some of the themes for the camps include Science Week, Superhero Week, Around the World Week, Olympics Week, Nature Week, Halloween Week, and more!

During Science Week, campers will explore the world of nature and science with activities, projects and experiments that investigate the world around us. They could take part in recycling activities and games, learn about respecting nature, make an exploding volcano, conduct an archaeological dig, visit the insectarium, and go on a geo caching adventure.
Around the World week is an exciting around the world adventure with fun activities in each destination. Stop in Mexico and make your own Maraca, then fly to France to decorate pastries and create a replica of the Eiffel Tower. Visit China to paint lanterns, head to Egypt and dress like a Mummy, and then end the week down-under with an Australian Safari.
There is a superhero inside all of us, we just need the courage to put on the cape. Campers will start Superhero week by creating their very own superhero name and powers. Enjoy a week of battling villains, perfecting your X-Ray vision, practicing your superhero skills in a challenging obstacle course, and using your Spidey senses. Graduate from the Superhero Training Academy with honors.
